Abstract

Burgess proved that for χq\chi_q a primitive Dirichlet character modulo qq with qq cubefree, M<nM+Nχq(n)N11rqr+14r2+ϵ\Big|\sum_{M< n\le M+N}\chi_q(n)\Big| \ll N^{1-\frac{1}{r}}q^{\frac{r+1}{4r^2}+\epsilon} for all integers r1.r\ge1. More recently, explicit versions with prime moduli qq were computed by Booker, McGown, Trevi\~{n}o, and Francis, with applications to finding the least kk-th power residue, and bounding the size of Dirichlet LL-functions just to name a few. Jain-Sharma, Khale, and Liu proved an explicit estimate for r=2.r=2. We improve their explicit constant for r=2r = 2 and compute an explicit Burgess bound for cubefree qq for r3r\ge 3.
